they achieve that balance by not raising taxes, while not raising taxes. i think that's very important, too. we certainly aren't undertaxed in this country. my friends on the other side clearly believe that we are. they are going to offer multiple tax increases in all their budgets. i like the budget that does not require tax increases. finally, both these budgets, the republican study committee budget and the republican budget, come to grips with the reality that we have to -- reform entitlements. we have our own way of doing that, but there could be others. unfortunately our friends on the other side are largely silent about that important choice. as my friend, mr. woodall, mentioned in his remarks, the ryan budget, is hardly a radical budget. it's going to increase spending every single year over a 10-year wind heo by about 3.5%. the main democratic alternative is about 5%. can't we live at 3.5% and have a balanced budget in 10 years as opposed to go to five with higher taxes and not balance the budget within that 10-year window? again i'm proud of my d

and taxes. it will structure our system for economic growth. we will stop hemorrhaging jobs overseas and bring american jobs back to these shores. it's one thing if we lose jobs because of low wages overseas. we don't ever want to compete in that arena. it's another if we lose jobs because our government is inefficient, bloated and expensive. and finally, it protects our most vulnerable. it protects our young people. you know, i agree with then senator obama when he said it was immoral to continue to incur these massive debts. of course, when he said it, since he said it, our debt is multiples of what he was decrying at that time. we are piling mountains and mountains of debt on our children and our grandchildren to fuel our addiction to spending and it's got to stop and it's got to stop now. i'm proud to stand for this republican budget and i urge its passage. i give back the rest of my time. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from maryland. mr. van holl

it said as part of tax reform don't raise taxes on middle income people to finance your tax breaks for folks at the very top. every republican voted no. so, yes, this plan that the gentleman has brought forward today, apparently under sort of a mock bipartisanship, will reduce the deficit in a balanced way. calls for a shared responsibility. and certainly does not give folks at the very top a tax break financed by middle income taxpayers like the republican proposal does. i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from south carolina. mr. mulvaney: i'd like to yield two minutes to the gentleman from california, mr. campbell. the chair: the gentleman from california is recognized for two minutes. mr. campbell: thank you. i thank the gentleman from south carolina. thank you, mr. chairman. sometimes, mr. chairman, you live in a neighborhood, you look down the street, and there is a neighbor there. and they got new cars and they are remodeling the kitchen and they take a lot of expensive vacations. you look down the street and
